Stress Management for a Better Life Bundle

Bundle Length: 1 Hour

$25

Stress is everywhere and for many people, especially responders and their families, it is an inevitable part of everyday life. If we let it, stress can wreak havoc on our bodies by disrupting hormones, overloading body chemistry, and destabilizing our emotions. The good news is, stress CAN be managed to keep you from becoming a statistic of an early heart attack, diabetes diagnosis, or physical disability…but it must be managed with intentionality. This short, four-module video series is informational about the effects stress can have on sleep and performance, as well as providing concrete tools and suggestions to help combat these effects for a healthier life!

Objectives

  • Discover the devastating ways stress can affect you physically, emotionally, and chemically.

  • Discuss types of practical intervention strategies to combat this stress and mitigate its damaging effects.

  • Create a self-care plan that works with your lifestyle and comfort level.
